Hello! Is there any good tutorial on doing tape backups? I have a lot of unanswered questions and all the process is not clean for in details.. Is it really impossible to know current tape position? How to exclude some fast growing directories from backup (it seems inpossible with dump)? My SCSI HP SureStore (HP HP35480A T603) cannot reliably tell when the tape finished to `dump -a'. What to do? Is there any suitable software (flexible I mean) to do backups? May be commercial.. I checked amanda, but it uses dump and so derives all its limitations. Excuse me for stupid questions, but I'm new to tapes.. Andrew. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
